I've been working all day - once more - on this murder mystery podcast (not true crime; a serialised, semi-interactive audio novel). I think this is going to be one of the best things I have begged the general public to engage with, over the years. Will begin in the weekend November 28-30.

This is one of the best biographies of a writer that I have read. Grace Metalious was a 1950s American housewife who wrote a novel loosely based on the residents of her New Hampshire. That book was called Peyton Place and it became the best-selling American novel of all time for a while.

Question for people who play Wordle/Connections and so on regularly: what's the perfect amount of time for it to take, per day? At what point does it tip over from agreeable distraction to 'this is eating into my life'? I realise it depends partly on what else you have to do in the day.
